I'm kinda bored at work, so I thought it would be fun to bring out those ex-Rockets again! Who's your favorite out of the list?
The Legend by a landslide. Who will forget his defence on both Shaq and D-Rob. As somebody said back then: "CJ! You can't stop him, you can only try to contain him!"
Hah that dude was like 50 years old! I think we had him to throw the other team off. Like throwing fastballs, then a slow curve haha. I do remember his blocks and a hook shot at the end of his last game, awesome!
I've always liked Chili Pete, mainly because of how the announcers said his nick whenever he drains a 3(the only shot he ever attempts ).
Charles Jones by a landslide. Guy looked like he was 50, but played hard and gave everything he had. I remember hearing a story about how he was back in Alabama somewhere once when they called him, and he drove to the airport. His car was there the rest of the year. CJ rocked.
Had to vote for Scotty Brooks although I always loved Air Bull and Carl Herrera. Would Sleepy Floyd be considered for this poll?
Yea sorry dudes I wanted to add more like Chucky Brown, etc. but only allowed me 10. I actually thought I did add him in, guess not
That's a tough one. Scottie "The Energizer Bunny" Brooks - the Rockets' #1 cheerleader. Matt "Air" Bullard - needs no introduction. Carl "Amigo" Herrera - no one does the dirty work better. Charles "The Legend" Jones - has anyone else in league history ever averaged more fouls per game than points per game?
I didn't vote because I would of voted for Chucky Brown. The dude sucked, but I liked him for some reason. Maybe its for his hard work and leaving everything on the floor.
Shoot, Clyde used to make him look good. Clyde would do all the work, then just put the ball right into Chucky Brown's hands for an easy layup. I think maybe we all liked Chucky Brown because it was always great to have a team stacked with Dream & Clyde ... and then the other team is getting burned by, "Chucky Who?"
Even though he didnt play for the Rockets long ... I loved having Pig Miller out there with the toothpick in his mouth
What? No Tree Rollins??? Can I get some love for World B Free? I liked watching that rainbow jumper that kissed the rafters. Guess I have to go with Chucky Brown or Jim Peterson.
I had to go with Charles Jones as well. How could you not like a guy who looked 50, was only 6-9 (if I remember correctly), and yet played good defense on centers?
